OpenStudy (ash2326):

We have fixed amount of money say $100 Supposedly we wanna buy chocolates, let thel price of each chocolate be $20 so we can buy \(\frac{100}{20}\)=5 chocolates let the price of chocolate increase to $50, now we can buy \(\frac{100}{50}\)=2 chocolates We see as the price increased, quantity decreased What do you think the relation is? @HammerG

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Inveres

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Did you understand this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me think something to make you understand this

OpenStudy (ash2326):

I'll give you example of a direct relation. 5 trees gives 100 mangoes if there are more trees say 10, would the no. of mangoes increase or decrease?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@HammerG What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Increase :D

OpenStudy (ash2326):

good:D as the no. of trees increase, the no. of mangoes will increase. If the no. of trees decrease, the no. of mangoes will decrease|dw:1341391056965:dw| T=trees, M=mangoes
